Mort Zuckerman, who once endorsed Barack Obama for the presidency and allegedly helped write one of his speeches, uses his perch at US News today to blast the White House as “the most fiscally irresponsible government in US history.” Zuckerman includes Congress in this indictment as well, blaming Democrats for driving the US towards an unprecedented debt crisis, and Republicans for only coming to fiscal responsibility out of midterm politics:
There are two warning signs of a budget crisis: rising debt and the loss of confidence that the government will deal with it. This administration is on the verge of fulfilling both conditions. In fairness, there is no majority coalition in Congress for deficit reduction today. It is also true that the growth of public debt has been driven by a dramatic diminution of tax receipts due to the recession, the extra spending to avoid sinking into a self-perpetuating depression, and all those billions we invested to save the financial sectors from their sins.
Voters see the politicians most vociferous about reining in the federal budget as those who are out of power and want to use it against the majority party. Too many politicians claim they are all for balanced budgets—but only by reducing the other party’s priorities. Republicans want to reduce social spending. Democrats want to reduce military spending. It is Washington as usual.

F.U. Mort you complicit asshat!
Thanks Mort... after you put this d-gag into office!
Well duh...
You mean it take you THIS LONG to come to that conclusion!
Thanks for nothing Mort. Slick pony is already out of the barn.
Captain Obvious attack?
That was my reaction too. Gee, Mort, given this guy was an affirmed Marxist, what did you expect to happen?
And I’d say that Mort Zuckerman is a prime example of how you can be complete political sucker even if you are a savy businessman but Wall Street is filled with them.
Hey Mort, you supported this dope two years ago. Were you stupid enough to read fiscal conservatism into his vague bromides????
Whatever, idiot.
Yeah. F O Mort - you voted for him and raised money for him
This is what happens to you, Mr. Zuckerman, when you don’t have any principles, and make political determinations based on what is or is not “cool.”
What did you think Mort when Obama told Jow the plumber that he was into redistribution of wealth? Did you think he was joking, you dumbass? Only goes to show that some of the so called smartest people in the room are not necessarily the smartest people in the room.
Oh, we got trouble, right here in River City, that starts with T and that rhymes with P and that stands for POMPOSITY.
Screw Zuckerman. His credibility is unsalvageable.
They see the handwriting on the wall. They know it’s about to hit the fan.
Funniest post of the week!
